CLEVENGER, FRITZ posted by Betty Hoppe-Stevens on Wednesday, July 28, 2004: Searching for classmate, Wanda Clevenger, who graduated from Farnam High School, Dawson county, Farnam, Nebraska in the class of 1951. She is the daughter of Luther Clevenger (abt. 1902, MO) and Ethel D. Clevenger (abt. 1903, OK). Brothers are Dallas Jr. (abt. 1925, MO), Edwin Lloyd (abt. 1928, SD), Dennis Leon (abt. 1929, SD), Forest Curtis (abt. 1930, SD). This information is from the 1930 Federal Census in SD, Hand, Carlton, District 6. Wanda had at least four younger sisters, Donna, Barbara, Ethel, and Patty during the 1951-52 school year attending Farnam Public Schools. Would be interested to make contact with someone who knows of this family. Possible that Luther might be the son of James Clevenger and Margaret Lavada Fritz Clevenger. A "Luther A. Clevenger" was born to the couple 13 Jul 1901, at Sparta, Christian, Missouri and died 1 Nov 1963 according to the IGI at 'familysearch.org'.
